Rick, this kinda like the mystery tool in the woodworking trade mags. :P I have torn down and re-built my car once and partially the second time, doing a 72 at the moment, and I have no idea what this is for :cry:

Problem is I have no idea what it is either. A friend of mine thought it might be some kind of cover for a fiat A/C unit?
How about this... If someone can figure out what it is I'll donate some fundage to the site.

I can't tell hoe big it is, but it looks a lot like the factory wrap that went over the wiper motor on the 124 coupes. The motor is exposed on these cars.

It's around 12-14" square.

Are you sure it's not something that fell off one of your pretty girls of Fiat?

That is the ultra rare and most coveted "battery boot" When at concourse events, and the trunk is propped open, that item is snapped over the battery cover to spruce it up.

No, just kidding, I have no idea what that is.

To me it looks like some kind of boot (foot kind) gaiters. The thing that goes over you boot and pant legs for when your hiking on wet grass. Since it appears to be leather maybe its a knee to ankle motorcycle chap or to prevent snake bites while hiking. Do you have 2? Does it fit around your calf?

As usual I have no clue and I am probably wrong.
